High impact information on Slco2a1

  • Inhibitors of other channels, such as the purinergic receptor P2X7 and the prostaglandin transporter PGT, had no effect on PGE2 release [1].
  • Melatonin suppresses NO-induced apoptosis via induction of Bcl-2 expression in PGT-beta immortalized pineal cells [2].
  • In the present study, we investigated whether melatonin would prevent nitric oxide (NO)-induced apoptotic death of PGT-beta immortalized pineal cells [2].
  • To identify the cis-acting region responsible for pineal-specific expression of the TPH gene, we investigated a 6.1-kb 5'-flanking region of the mouse TPH gene using an immortalized pineal cell line (PGT-beta) derived from transgenic mice [3].
  • To develop PGT-specific inhibitors with high affinity, we designed a library of triazine compounds and screened 1842 small molecules by using Madin-Darby canine kidney cells stably expressing rat PGT [4].
